Then perhaps you need to be refreshed with the irrefutable evidence that not only is Chad gay, but his lover is none other than Troy!I was leaning towards that also since to me it looked like it was personal enough for him to about cry after the fight. But now I'm thinking it's either with Melanie or Quinn is manipulating him some how with her restaurant.
The first thing we need to do is address the red herring that is Mel. Sure there's a lot of whispering and misleading looks, but the fact that Mel is running on the treadmill with Sarah within earshot of the Jocks while Chad is on the phone with his side "chick" puts Mel in the clear.
Now let's get chronological.
When you first check in, the receptionist says, "Here's the key to your shared dorm, you're in the eastern wing. The dorm number is 66." Now we need to know it's 66 since we have to click on door 66(6), but you never had to follow directions to find the east wing, so why was that tiny detail included in the game? Just for a little more reality perhaps? Or what it a clue?
When Sage posts on Rooster that she has a temporary roommate, Dawe responds with:
Is that the same eastern wing you just left? Room 66(6) perchance? So it makes a lot of sense that Chad is staying with Troy.
When you're staying with Troy, he makes a big deal about you having to stay out of the room most of the time, most likely he likes to entertain, perhaps entertain a big muscly stud?
When Troy sneaks out at night, he's obviously going for some steamy gay sex ('cause you're cramping his style back in the room).
While he's the president of the Tri-Alpha's, Chad has to stay at the mansion, so even though Troy's dorm room has been half empty (until you come along), it's not really an option for Chad to stay there.
Once Chad is kicked out of the frat, he's free to find a dorm room of his own and so he makes a beeline to Troy's loving open arms.
When the Jocks are discussing the keg procurement schedule, one of them comments about Chad, "I saw him yesterday, he seemed happy. It was weird. Never saw him as a positive guy." - Maybe he's happy because he's landed himself in the dorm of the love of his life?
All of that plus Chad's blackmail photos? Obviously some hot man-o-man action in those happy snaps.
And that brings us to why he finally dumped Sage. When he was president of the tri-alphas, he had an image to maintain, needed a girl by his side, but as she complained, he was never physical with her. Not physical with Sage?! That ain't normal, even if your dick is limp, you've still got 10 fingers and a tongue! He obviously isn't in to girls.
Now that he's shacked up with Troy and no longer has to deal with the spotlight that being the prez brings, he decided to stop stringing Sage along.
Now I know I said "chronological" but it's too fucking hard to get this in order. So lets take a trip way back, to when Chad and Sage were freshmen (or is it freshpeople nowadays).
Chad has never been in to Sage. In the flashback at the beginning of episode 5 he was already blowing her off (Sage was just too love struck or something to see it - look at the poor innocent face, idolizing that beefcake...)
And look at Chad's face. He is perpetually tormented. He never looks happy.
During the fight they have just before the MC comes around to teach Sage some more guitar, Sage complains that it's about time Chad started getting more physical with her, right after he gives her a peck on the forehead.
She's not saying, "how come we're not physical anymore" (like what might happen when you start to fall out of love with someone), she's saying it's about time they "start" getting more physical. That means, in the 3 years(?) of their relationship, how physical has it even got? Certainly sounds like there hasn't been any sex.
Also, earlier in their argument she accuses him of only paying attention to her in front of other people:
These are all major flags (not wild speculation) that he's batting for the other team. His relationship with her is all for show (to hide his true sexual orientation), and once they are in private she's just his friend, and he doesn't deserve her.
Now some people may shamelessly accuse me of regurgitating my past posts. They might be right ... but..
